Stage 3: Build Learning Plan |
||
| Set (Engagement): Length of Time: < 10 mins
Begin by discussing vocabulary: stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Stereotyping (+/- Idea): a widely held fixed idea considered to represent a particular kind of person. Ex. Blondes are dumb. Prejudice (Negative Belief): having negative or hostile views towards a person or group of people based on ignorance and stereotypes. Ex. A man says his female co-workers belong at home. Discrimination (Action): Unfair treatment of a person or group based on prejudice. Ex. Not hiring someone based on the colour of their skin. Check for understanding and give more examples if needed. Development: Length of Time: 2.25-2.5 hrs Announce that you will be viewing the movie Zootopia, and that they will be given a handout to write down all the examples of stereotyping, prejudice, or discrimination they can find (the handout they are given will determine which one to focus on). Watch the movie and remind the students to write down their examples. This may take multiple class periods.
When done watching the movie, group all of the kids with the same topic together and have them discuss their answers and write down their best examples on sticky notes. Meanwhile, the teacher writes stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination on the board. When done collaborating, have each group come and share their ideas and place their sticky notes by the correct word. Once all groups have presented, comment on any similar scenarios under different words. Learning Closure: Length of Time: 5 mins To finish off the lesson, students will answer an exit ticket that summarises the lesson and get them thinking about their next lesson. |
